RESUMO
The Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) integrase (IN) and the beta polypeptide (beta) of the reverse transcriptase are posttranslationally modified by phosphorylation on Ser at amino acid position 282 of IN. When IN was immunoprecipitated from RSV (Prague A strain) virions, approximately 30 to 40% of the IN molecules were phosphorylated. When IN was immunoprecipitated from a v-src deletion mutant (delta Mst-A) of RSV or from avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV), the percentage of IN molecules that were phosphorylated was significantly reduced. This reduction in phosphorylation of IN between virions was verified by [35S]Met-[35S]Cys or 32P labeling of IN, followed by immunoprecipitation analysis using antisera directed to the amino or carboxyl terminus of IN. In delta Mst-A or AMV, a nonphosphorylated, slightly truncated (at the carboxyl terminus) polypeptide was the major species of IN. The enhanced phosphorylation of IN does not appear to be a general function of transformed cells, since enhanced phosphorylation was not detected in AMV derived from viremic chickens or from a v-src deletion mutant of RSV propagated in a chemically transformed quail cell line, QT6. From these data, we conclude that v-Src is necessary for efficient phosphorylation of IN and beta.
